Re: [CGUYS] droid self-photography?
These ad folks are pretty savvy and do a lot of market research before they put together these ads. That is what they are paid for. Occasionally they drop a bomb (pun not intended) but usually they do a very good job. When I first saw the commercial I was intrigued then when they did the drop thing I understood totally. It looks like an alien, a robot otherworldly. So why not bring up transformers, war of the worlds etc. Apple pays big bucks for their ad people to do their job and they came up with some really good ones.

How and why does a cell phone take pictures of itself? Some phones have cameras on the front and back of the phone. You can do video calls if you want. That's an extra feature for most people, but for those who can't hear, it could be a life-saver. It lets those people talk to each other in sign language on a cell phone. Most mobile phone mfgs have at least one phone with this feature. Not sure if that's what you mean by a phone taking pictures of itself. Is that like the Mars explorer robots sending self portraits back to earth? * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
